In a series of posts on Meta’s Threads platform, Vivian Jenna Wilson, the transgender daughter of billionaire Elon Musk, has publicly criticized her father’s recent comments regarding her gender transition. Wilson, 20, posted a picture of herself with the caption, “I look pretty good for a dead b***h,” directly addressing Musk’s remarks about her.

Wilson, who legally changed her name and gender in 2022, emphasized that she had “disowned” Musk, countering his narrative that he had disowned her. She refuted Musk’s claim that she was “born gay and slightly autistic,” labeling these remarks as “entirely fake” and suggesting they were influenced by far-right stereotypes.

The controversy stems from an interview Musk gave to psychologist Dr. Jordan Peterson on the Daily Wire. During the interview, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO stated that he was “tricked” into allowing Wilson, previously known as Xavier, to undergo gender reassignment surgery as a child, a decision he deeply regrets. Musk described the act of allowing children to transition as “incredibly evil” and proposed that individuals promoting such surgeries “should go to prison.”

Musk further elaborated on his stance, saying, “They call it ‘deadnaming’ for a reason. The reason they call it ‘deadnaming’ is because your son is dead. My son Xavier is dead — killed by the woke-mind virus,” directly referring to Wilson’s transition.

Wilson’s public denouncement adds to the ongoing tension as Musk continues his outspoken campaign against what he terms the “woke-mind virus.” The tech mogul has vowed to combat this perceived societal threat, stating, “I vowed to destroy the woke-mind virus after that. And we’re making some progress.”
